Senate Study Committee on Enhancing Public Safety and Civic Health; create
This resolution creates a Senate Study Committee to examine the feasibility of implementing emergency alert bracelets for individuals with PTSD or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during crises. The committee will study how such devices - similar to existing medical bracelets - could improve emergency responder identification and outcomes, collaborating with health agencies, law enforcement, and advocacy groups. It has no authority to enact policies but will evaluate potential impacts and recommend legislation by December 1, 2025. The resolution does not create the bracelet program itself, only authorizes a study to inform future decisions.
